Scatology also means more broadly "interest in or treatment of obscene matters especially in literature." Mysterious Traveler put it well: "Zappa was hell-bent on his lyrical mockery of society." I find that sort of intense and unrelenting mockery to be ultimately exhausting and not uplifting. "Never wrestle with a pig, you'll just get dirty and the pig enjoys it." Zappa spent way too much of his time wrestling pigs IMO.
Pohjola, he took the high road.
